Wednesday, June 18th -- Does everyone know how to "tag?" I'd say quite a few of you do given the number of comments on the photo of POWER PLAY. Putnam's doing the drawing on Friday and then I'll post the 5 winners along with the names of the 5 converted friends. Looks like you guys are gathering lots of deprived friends into the FBI fold. Thank you and good luck. I'd like to hear how you captured the uninitiated, like, did you lasso them from the back of a truck? Did you do a cool tackle and not let them up until they swore they'd leap right into the FBI books? Please tell me you didn't have to use extreme measures with any of your prospects --

The gallies for THE LOST KEY are due in this morning, which means my nose will be plastered to five hundred something pages for the rest of the week -- I haven't seen the book in a couple of months, which is good, because, hopefully, my brain will be fresh. The key is always to read very very closely, catch all the gremlins that get in the pages to cause trouble. Also my Thank You to Clive Cussler in the first Nicholas Drummond book somehow, for whatever reason, didn't make it into the Acknowledges of, THE FINAL CUT. It will go in the Acknowledgements here. Clive's got a new Kurt Austin out -- gotta order it in --

If you haven't "tagged" get off the dime and get it done! Then, with success, enjoy moving your gorgeous body to celebrate the day, lots of upper body today, think arms firm as elderberry branches --
